I feel like this is the most likely outcome.
came?
And that just made me burst out laughing. In my home, in my bedroom, where none can see.
Thank you, corrected.
Indeed, it seems she has quite definite objections to the 'memory-erasure' plan, then. But, that was the first draft of a possible resolution, of course. No doubt OL's hammered things into a workable plan by now.
Honestly, I doubt her and Hades being in any proximity would be a good idea right now. She might well decide 'screw it, in for an Obol, in for a Talent.' and attack him outright.
...Sadly true. On the other hand, him admitting it might well soften her anger a little through surprise.And seeing his mother in this state probably isn't doing wonders for his emotional state either...
Ah, the antici-...
...-pation! And a good answer. While she might have been able to do some damage to England if you'd said that, Themyscira is protected by her seniors.
And neatly summarised. It does just go a little way to explain her feelings of powerlessness, too.
Sadly, he doesn't take 'no' for an answer in this kind of thing. Not until you're properly informed, anyway.
...I'm guessing Hera's already said she's not getting anywhere near this big ball of Trouble.
Well, if you weren't so good at doing it that quickly, maybe people wouldn't expect overnight miracles from you.
Not unless you want a peach-tree branch somewhere intimate.
I can't believe people keep forgetting that detail... Old Sparky has a lot to answer for. And now he's off the throne, perhaps some of that karma will be coming back on his ass.
I expect that'll be an easier task. Definitely less yelling, certainly.
Well, that calmed her down something nicely. I guess she thought Hades wouldn't be taking any part in this plan...
So, sort of a dating sim 'New Game Plus' option. All their relationship data gets reset to zero, instead of the woefully lopsided love/hate position it is now...
I expect Persephone'll be quizzing her son about all this now. Not that Zagreus will likely have many answers.
No Melinoë? Or is she playing the neutral party in this, as the middle child?
Even if they don't always go smoothly. There were a few dicey moments back there.
The benefit of hindsight, of course.
That's the plan, lover-boy. Just... Don't be too pushy, or come on too strong, and you should be fine... (Fingers crossed.)
Ah, see, there's an intelligent question. What's the win condition? The failure condition?
Yes. It may hurt to think that it could happen, but don't fool yourself into thinking this is guaranteed to go well.
What if... She decides later that maybe, it wasn't so bad with Hades? She's lived as she's had for thousands of years. What life would she make for herself without that central fact?
Life is risk, Hades. Nothing can be perfect.
Yeah. Is Hecate sure that it will only affect the selected memories? That it will wear off? The last thing anyone needs is a Hades back in his...
Would it be fair to call it 'teenage' days... just after the Titanomachy?On the upside, his agreement should make her more likely to consider doing it.
Thank you, corrected.

In England's defence, Paul was much less callous when he identified with England over Themyscira.
I'm sort of thinking that her take on this is something close to "I've seen more than enough nightmares to know to stay far away from this crap."
Eh, Zoat!Hades has his high points, though they can be counted on one hand, what with the baseline of JusticeLeague!Hades that Zoat started from.
Yes. I think I linked to a picture in one of his early appearances.
